Notes:

  1. 2023 data have been adjusted to reflect the actual situation.
  2. The disposal of the 100% equity interests in the franchise business in the USA (doing business as Swire Coca-Cola, USA (SCCUS)) was completed on 7 September 2023. For 2023, Environmental and Health & Safety data relating to SCCUS represents data of up to 7 September 2023.
  3. The Swire Pacific Group accounts for 44.985% of the Cathay group's total GHG emissions under the Group's Scope 3 emissions, which is the same as the percentage of its ordinary shareholding interest in Cathay Pacific.
  4. For Cathay Pacific group's aviation turbine fuel associated emissions, Global Warming Potential of CO2 is 1. This assumes that all other GHGs are negligible, as their impacts are still uncertain.
  5. Scope 3 data refers to gross emissions.
  6. Totals may not be the exact sum of the numbers shown here due to rounding.
  7. We account for 50% of Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited (HAESL)'s total GHG emissions under the Group's Scope 3 emissions as HAESL is a joint venture company between Rolls-Royce and HAECO group.
  8. For 2023, Swire Pacific extended its disclosure on Scope 3 emissions to cover all subsidiaries in four divisions (Property, Beverages, Aviation and Trading & Industrial). We continue to account for a proportion of the Cathay Pacific Group and Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited total Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions equivalent to our equity share in those companies. The reported figures account for all categories of Swire Pacific's total Scope 3 GHG emissions for the year under review.
  9. Total water withdrawal refers to the sum of water drawn from municipal water and groundwater. Virtually all water withdrawn by the Swire Pacific Group is from municipal water supplies provided by local water supply authorities.
  10. We used the World Resource Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool to map our water withdrawal by water stress levels.
  11. According to GRI 303-5, water consumption is defined as volume of water that is drawn into the boundaries of the organisation and not discharged back to the water environment or a third-party. Swire Coca-Cola is our largest consumer of water (>99%). It has provided its total water consumption.
  12. Waste management is the main profit generating activity of Swire Waste Management Ltd and New Life Plastics Ltd (NLP). In accordance with our data protocol, activity data from these businesses is excluded from the operational boundary for waste.
  13. References in this document to Hong Kong are to Hong Kong SAR, to Macau are to Macao SAR; Taiwan are to the Taiwan region; and South East Asia includes Cambodia and Vietnam.
  14. Staff data only relates to permanent staff (permanent full time staff, permanent part time staff and fixed contract employees in the Chinese mainland).
